Reviving the Mail Me Art project…

I'm going to be reviving the Mail Me Art project now that 2018 has arrived! I never actually put it to sleep, but it is time for a refresh and a large jolt of adrenaline. I never lost interest in the project and neither did the illustrators and artists who made it so special. It's always been a passion project for me rather than a day job, but that did mean it took a backseat when I needed to dedicate more time to support our members and build our client base at Hire an illustrator! I love all of the projects I do and businesses I run, but as you're all aware there are only so many hours in a day and there's never enough coffee in the pot.

The LCS (The Little Chimp Society) will be taking on another exhibition for HAI this year, which will be taking place in London in 2019. This will be a follow-up to "Showcase 100: Illustration" which happened what feels like a million years ago back in 2015. My plan is to piggy-back a new MMA project into the LCS-HAI collaboration and squeeze a postal art show into the gallery on alternative days or at the end of the week while we have the premium space.

I'll be setting dates and booking the gallery next week. This should give us around 18 months lead time to get everyone organised and plan out all of the details. I will be looking for volunteers and people willing to give up a bit of their time to help me out, so let me know if you'd like to be more than a participant and I'll add you to my list. Even if all you can do is spread the word with a share or a like, it's all appreciated.
